Another international guest chats to Jack and Ellan this week when Mark Breen joins them from Dublin. Mark is a crowd and events safety specialist and Director of Cuckoo Events and Safe Events with an active interest in helping those entering or progressing in the events industry with their professional development.
Revelling in the fact that no two days are ever the same, Mark “stumbled, tripped, fell” into events. By mixing his skills as a bouncer with his love of marketing and the challenges that live events present, he successfully plans and manages amazing small and large scale public events in Ireland (and Saudi!).
A keen advocate of self-awareness, hear how Mark builds a good team and why this is so important. And find out why he believes it is vital to do things differently if you want to stand out and be noticed by prospective employers looking for the next generation of event professionals.
Give him a good mojito and he’ll entertain you with his Irish charm and endless stories from his varied career – but please don’t make any grammatical errors! Listen to the end folks – he says great things that we certainly won’t argue with!
